Untouchable

As a writer, I like a good looking man. Include muscles on top of muscles, and my
interest is piqued. Add power and the
keys to the family business? Well,
that’s a recipe for an interesting character

Nick Calvetti fills out his designer suits like a male
model. He’s toned, he’s tanned, and he’s
one of the most powerful men in New York.
A poor unsuspecting female could be excused for falling under his spell,
his charm, and his unlimited wealth.
That’s exactly what Sofia did.
She fell for the tall, dark, handsome man with deep brown eyes that
turned her common sense to mush.

Too bad underneath the smooth veneer flows the blood of a
psychopath. No one said evil had to be
ugly. Now Sofia is his ex-wife, but
she’ll never be free.

UNTOUCHABLE

As the former wife of an infamous crime boss, Sofia Capri is
considered untouchable. She exists outside of the law...and outside of the
criminal world. When her son is kidnapped, Sofia's desperate to find him.
She'll do anything. Lie. Cheat. Steal. Seduce...

Something about Sofia's fiery beauty must be hitting all of
his weak spots, because suddenly Mr. Law And Order Logan Stone finds himself
bending the rules. When they're implicated in the kidnapping, Logan and Sofia
discover they have less than 72 hours to find the boy and clear their names.

Author Bio: When they
told her a woman could do anything, Cindy thought they meant everything, and
decided to give it a go. Cindy holds an MA in Creative Writing from Regis
University, is an MFA student at Pacific Lutheran University, works three jobs,
is a single mom to two of the most active kids on the planet, pet owner, and
child chauffeur extraordinaire.

She now works in a library and teaches writing and
composition to college students while working on her novels. When she’s not writing, she’s trying to
prevent the neurotic dog from either chewing the furniture or eating whole
sticks of butter (often still in the paper).
She’s beginning to think maybe she can’t do it all. At least not all at
once. For more information, visit her

Exerpt:

He’d seen her pull a set of lock picks from her
duffel, along with cash, a stuffed animal, passports and Lord knew what else.
She was resourceful, and her little bag of tricks came in handy. The one thing
he was certain she didn’t carry was a gun, and that suited him fine. The
thought of this particular woman being armed was incredibly dangerous.

“You can turn around now,” she said.

Logan turned. The woman across from him no
longer resembled the demure Sofia Capri Calvetti of his FBI file. She was blond
now, with long strands that curled around her pale face. She had a mirror
propped on the shelves and was applying makeup to cover the scrape on her
cheek.

Fascinated, he stepped closer. What a skilled
woman could do with a makeup brush was bewitching, and he’d always been drawn
to magic. He was also drawn to the woman across from him in a way that was no
less mystical. With a few flicks of a brush she turned her eyes smoky, then
followed with a swipe of mascara that turned her lashes into something from a
magazine ad.

When she turned, the air stirred with the scent
of recently applied perfume. He knew that smell in the dark.

“What do you think?”

What he thought he couldn’t say out loud. “You
don’t look like Aunt Bertha.”

She spun to show off the transformation. The
movement fanned her scent across the small space, surrounding him in a scent
that would tempt a monk. He wanted her. Until yesterday, she’d been a pretty
woman he was paid to watch. Nice gig if you could get it, and while he’d always
thought her sexy in touch-me-not shades, the woman behind the shades was far
more alluring.

“Do I look like me?” she insisted.

She
looked like sin in a dress. A blond Mata Hari in stilettos. Drawn by the sound
of soft fabric and silky skin and a temptation he no longer tried to deny,
Logan stepped around the car. If the sound of her undressing had him hard, the
smell of her had him ready to do disreputable things to her in the backseat of
her grandfather’s car.
